]]>Comment on Manhattan’s long-gone San Juan Hill by Anne Marie Fox-Codyhttps://ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/manhattans-long-gone-san-juan-hill/#comment-125389

Her name was Mary, She was married to my paternal great grandfather. Nanny was a young widow left with two sons and a daughter to raise. I have recently started research on Ancestry and I found her application for naturalization and her picture was on the application. Nanny passed before we left the west side.

My uncle by marriage is Kens brother. I am in touch with Donna and David Walsh via FB.

Before the construction of Lincoln Center we lived @ 67 Amsterdam, between 61st and 62nd. My father John was born and raised on 61st between 9th and 10th. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins all lived on the block. I remember the 59th Street Pool. Rudleys Luncheonette on Columbus, Grace Institute where my mom worked, trips to Guggenheim Dental School (not one of my favorite memories) and many other spots that are no longer. I remember the walks up the avenue to go to the movies @ The Beacon. A couple of years ago I went to a concert @ The Beacon. It was so strange sitting there and remembering seeing Disney movies there when younger. Many fond memories of my time there and feeling safe walking out my door because all of my family was there and neighbors looked out for everyone. Many broken hearts when Lincoln Center came in.

Your husband may have known my older brother Johnny. He graduated Paulist Fathers in ’57, my brother Tommy in ’58. My third brother graduated in ’60. I went there until third grade. If he did not know my brother I am sure there are many names/families that we have in common.

My finding this site proves what a small world it is…..Anne Marie
